This document specifies safety requirements for changing units, changing pads and changing unit accessories for domestic use for children with a body weight of no more than 15 kg. This document only covers the function of the item as a changing unit. If the changing unit can be converted or used for another function (e.g. cots, storage furniture, bath tubs and stands, etc.), other relevant European Standards apply. The changing unit can be foldable and can be fitted with a child bathtub or other additional items.
